This workshop takes place at the Waterfront.

Students will have the opportunity to learn the artistic skills required of 17th-century sailors, and the ways in which they would communicate.  Participants will have the opportunity to board the Maryland Dove and go below deck.  Participants will try their hand at knot tying, learn about nautical charts, and see a gunnery demonstration.
